I've had the same one since cleaning the fuel tank on my 280 in 2011. My clear filter looks like new too so I'm not breaking out my wallet either.

It's the same motor that came in my '77. N42 cast iron block with 86mm cylinder bores. It has a N47 cylinder head, you can see this between #1 and #2 spark plugs. Mine was the early change over head that had a oiler cam PLUS a spray bar resulting in very low oil pressure on the gauge but flooded the valve train with oil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_L_engine

Efi fuel filters hold about a quart.

Are you talking about the carbs oil? That's the dampeners I think of. I use 20 weight in mine. A lot of people use automatic transmission fluid.

I like this stuff on aluminium.

On the firing order, the wires are #1 through #6 on the block's front to rear. I forgot to add that.

I think zcardepot.com has the sending unit for a later 280? Nope. '74 is all I found. Sorry

That'll buff out. Seriously, it doesn't look that bad to me.?.?.?.?.

I'd check the basics, rotor button, cap, plug wires and finally the timing. If the timing is too low it'll be really slow turning over and wont start. Loosen the dizzy and get someone to crank it, turning the dizzy CCW (I think) then It'll spin over quicker. If it's starved for fuel your metal filter up front may be stopped up. There $10. Make sure the firing order is right.

Thanks for sharing your pricing! That's about what I was thinking too. A few more dollars with the glass out is the rubber seals. Some are quite expensive.

I'd guess figuring out the "faulty" switching mechanism that is causing the power cut to the pump. It spins if you straight wire it right? Then I would bypass that switch if I couldn't replace it with a working one. The oil pressure sensor is easy, the AFM switches would be over my pay grade ?. But I would be more than happy to help get the answer from the members that know.

I put one of those in my 280 a few years ago and really like it. Love the small size and now have one in my truck. Mine are Pioneers from walmart. Put 2 Pyle 4" or 6"??? speakers behind the seats in the OE spots in the 280, sounds good too.

Did we figure out if his country gets a summer blend fuel? If so wouldn't different heat range plugs help? Just guessing like everyone else is on the info we're reading.

They did the same when I did a nickel in federal penitentiary.

I hurt my back a week or so ago trying on sneakers at Academy Sports. It's a lot of bending tying those laces.

Just a guess.

The Ronnie Prophet Show? Canadian...

I got it.

How in the hell can Mick sound soooo country? That's amazing!

That's one of my all time favorite albums. His last with a bunch of other singers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Man_Standing_(Jerry_Lee_Lewis_album)

One of the best...

Nothing definite but awful close... https://www.google.com/search?biw=1280&bih=606&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=TdoDXcHuD7CJ5wKq8arQBw&q=280z+western+wheels&oq=280z+western+wheels&gs_l=img.3...24037.32692..33092...0.0..0.184.1672.22j1......0....1..gws-wiz-img.....0..0i67j0j0i24.Dtvv2YKQ3_0#imgrc=_
